McClain, a massage therapist, was on his way home from a convenience store when he was stopped by police. A 911-caller had reported a “sketchy” person. McClain was not armed or accused of committing a crime, but officers threw him to the ground and placed him in a chokehold. Paramedics later arrived and injected him with ketamine, a powerful sedative. He died days later. Learn more here.
